Quote from Tweaker :

Then "what KIND of racing fuel" do we buy at Blackwood? There is no answer.

xxxx doesn't make fuel, they make xxxxx.

Yes there is an answer. But it isn't the one you suggested

Quote from Tweaker :

XXXXXX makes xxxxxx, not fuel.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Yeah I like the foreign people. I like most of them anyway, except the Spanish, French, German, Belgian, Italian, Finnish, Swedish, Latvian, Estonian, American, Swiss, Austrian, Canadian, Russian, Danish and Australian ones. And of course the Norwegians - I haven't forgotten about you, Norway. Your time will come.


Oh yes.

You forgot Poland

Quote from JamesF1 :

What, you mean like NOT killing people? Stupid 2000-year-old laws...

Explain to me then how a true believer George Bush says he is on a mission from god to invade Afghanistan and Iraq and in the process he (by proxy) kills depending on sources 30 000 - 950 000 men, women and children? "Thou shalt not kill" is a metaphor too?

Or how I see all the time in the news from US that this or that religious group is protesting/terrorizing that abortion clinic / womens clinic. And no news about religious groups protesting at the pentagon or white house.

I don't deny, that I don't know much about that book, Beause I couldn't be bothered to read it I even failed my confirmation test and cheated on the retest, IIRC even still failed - or something, I only remember that I haven't officially passed confirmation, can't remember what the reason was though. Doesn't matter anyway, I denounced faith the day I turned 18 and could legally do it on my own.

For future reference, if I see a sentence or something proclaiming something stupid like* "premarital sex is wrong", "adultery is wrong" (aka Swinging), "homosexual relations are wrong", "kill all whom don't believe in me" or "you need to jump on one leg while wiggling your toes while reading this book". When can it be taken as literally and at face value and when can it be taken as a metaphor which you can dismiss?

* No I don't know is any of those actually in that book, only that the church says so

Quote from Krane :

They say either:

• It's not meant to be taking literally
  
• It's figure of speach
  
• It's taken out of context
  
• You need to read the whole book to understand the sentence
  

I, as I usually do, take things at face value, think that among other wacky things in that book is just plainly preposterous. It might have been business-as-usual couple millennias ago, but today....

Or they just downplay that part and change/tweak the teachings as required, like they recently changed the teaching what happens to stillborn babies (therefore unbabtized). Because the followers in Africa and Asia didn't like the idea of their stillborn babies going into limbo (sort of intermediate of hell and heaven I think) so they changed it.

Quote from Racer X NZ :

To start with, my christian theology may be a bit shaky but I can't remember killing people being an act of love in any version of the new testiment I've ever read, maybe this god person produced a US version that we don't get here.

"Thou shalt not kill" - You're not just reading it right, you need to twist it to suit your needs :spin:

Does it make it a completly different game?

Quote from radweld :

Great, thanks guys, I thought i only had a finite number of unlocks before i would have to purchase it again. LFS did run for a week with the new CPU before it locked it self back to demo.

Anyway all sorted now, cheers.

Usually that, getting locked and then unlocked randomly, is because the PC has been in hibernation/snooze mode before starting LFS. Always make sure that's not the case, especially before unlocking LFS.

Quote from jayhawk :

Not all Christians are as he described, and I for one do not understand this deep hate from atheists, a bit from him, but especially on the internet. To the angry atheists: what has God and religion done to you to hold all this hate and frustration?

On my part, I wouldn't say it's hate, more of severe annoyance.

And it's more aimed at those theists who want all others to obey the same rules, customs and doctrines they do. Even by all means necessary.

On the otherhand those who practise religion in their own circles, I have no problem. But when I'm in the town and constantly endure unsolicited advertisements and approaches of this or that religion, again, I start to get annoyed.

It probably was just the server admins fooling around...

All true.. I've wondered for long how the US has come from this:

Quote from Treaty of Tripoli: Article 11 :

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli
Emphasis mine.

To: "In god we trust" stamped to everywhere, bible readings in the white house and pentagon etc humbug



Edit: Started clicking the links in the Wikipedia article and found another quote:

Quote from Thomas Jefferson :

"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State."
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S ... _.22wall_of_separation.22

Now there's a temporary prohibition until next wednesday http://www.hs.fi/ulkomaat/arti ... ät/1135226853058?ref=rss (in finnish)

If that would be here in middle of Vappu (May Day) the biggest boozing day in Finland, the whole country would go berserk
